Am I a Bad Mother for Kicking My Pregnant Daughter Out?


When I found out something I didn’t want for her at that age, I wasn’t overly delighted. “Mom, I have to tell you something, but you need to promise me that you won’t be upset,” she said to me one day when she got home.

Naturally, I had heard that statement before and had my backup plan. I cursed myself for letting Nathan worm his way into my heart as my imagination began to replay all kinds of scenarios! I even held myself responsible for lowering my defenses around him.

I’m not sure how, but I had a sneaking suspicion that he was up to something my daughter would like to talk about!

But I tried not to let my reservations show on my face as I tried to be a good father. “What is it, baby? You know you can tell me anything?” I said coolly. She sighed and inhaled deeply before hesitantly saying:

“I am carrying Nathan’s child.” You will become a grandmother.
